Imagine Delivering a 19 Pound Baby Boy!
How big was your newborn? I think about how big my newborn will be when I have my first child. I'm only a wee 5'0, 110 pounds so having a big baby would be a bit much for my small frame.

A woman in Indonesia delivered a 19 pound baby boy! Whoa! Look at the size of that baby next to his peer. That is crazy!

I thought that this line in the article was pretty funny:

"The as-yet-unnamed baby’s arrival, chronicled on TODAY Thursday, was marked by a cry that sounded more like a roar and an appetite of epic proportions." Haha I could imagine.

Read the article to get the full story.

So how big was your newborn?

That's frightening! 19lbs! Whoa.
I'm not a mother, but I can only pray that I have a small child.

I hear having a baby is like pushing a desk out of you vagina, so I am guessing a 15 lb baby is like pushing a small elephant.
I can only imagine...

1.) It is really sad that her diabetes was not monitored better.
2.) That baby is in for a lifetime of trouble. 3.) Ouch.
My boys were 7 lbs 4.5 oz & 8 lbs 11 oz.

The woman had a c-section, not a vaginal delivery.
My son was tiny, just under 5.5lbs.

Ev was 4lbs 15 oz at 6 weeks early (according to the NICU nurses she was probably only 3-4 weeks early in actuality, I guess we'll never know for sure)

Funny thing is after a C-section the doc tells you not to lift anything over 10lbs for a few days. hmm :)

I'm glad the baby is ok & I hope he & his mother will be ok.

Before we assume the worst, what is the national average in Indonesia? Every country has guidelines of what they consider normal & dangerous for babies & labor. I KNOW 19 pounds is very off the charts but there are other factors to include. A big baby doesnt necessarily mean diabetes or other health problems. My friend's baby was about 5 & a half pounds & they told her if the baby was 1 pound heavier she would have to have a c-section & Gabi (the baby) was so petite!! They live in Hawaii by the way. I was about 8 pounds at delivery & that seems to run in the family.

Also, I think the baby on the left looks scared of the bigger one. Like "why am I here? What's he screaming for??". Poor thing & he/she looks undersized compared to the big baby.

As an Indonesian the mother was probably pretty small, perhaps about your own size.

@Shinbi_Belldandy@xanga - The article says that her diabetes was not very well controlled. But even so, I agree with you - it is definitely possible that 19 lbs, while large, is not horribly off the charts.

@filtered_sunlight - Hahaha. I was waiting on commenters who totally missed the joke and would tell me she had a c-section.

My babies were a normal size. I can't imagine how big the mom was and how heavy it was to carry him. In that picture above it looks like that the little baby is saying to himself " oh my what a big baby he is". What a weight she was carrying with him.
